Blake speaks with Bay Backner about all things Decentraland (she's the head producer there)! This is a must listen to learn all of its ins and outs…from LAND vs. MANA to how the DAO operates vs. the foundation.

Bay is the real deal, she started as an artist creating in Decentraland with support from the DAO and now she works for the foundation as the head producer…so she’s seen all sides.

Bay and Blake dive into the dynamics of virtual worlds, what makes Decentraland so unique, how it’s a super friendly place for creators and ofcourse, they talk digital fashion and Metaverse Fashion Week, happening April 9-12 (Bay also drops some exclusive alpha about what to expect!).

This is such an inspiring convo that will help you understand the future of virtual worlds and why Decentraland is at the forefront.

Blake speaks with Head of Strategy & Business Development at Doodles, Austin Hurwitz and they cover everything that Doodles has been up to. They go over the new token, the CEO change, how markets conditions impact their decisions and how Golden Wolf is their secret weapon.

Blake also asks Austin how he would describe the Doodles community, what’s important to them (co-creation!) and what he’s learned from working with one of the biggest brands in the world (like McDonald’s last year).

Doodles has a massive year ahead of them and this episode will get you all caught up on what they’ve got planned.

This episode is brought to you by Decentraland, a social virtual world where you can connect, explore, and create. Decentraland is the place to hang with friends (new and old) online.

Blake speaks with The Metropolitan Museum of Art team who recently released Art Links, marking The Met’s first foray onto the blockchain. Art Links is a 12-week game that invites you to connect the dots between seeming disparate art works (whether centuries apart, completely different mediums, etc.) according to different themes, rewarding you in the form of NFT badges and IRL prizes. Blake has played religiously every week, and has learned a tonne!

3 of the project leads are here to talk about the game: Destinee Filmore, Assistant Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Met, Brett Renfer, The Met's Brett Renfer, The Met's Senior Project Manager for Emerging Technologies and Audrey Ou, co-founder and CEO of TRLab.

They dive deep into the project, from how long it took to plan and launch, to the intended audience, to why they chose Base, to the art they included.

Blake also couldn’t resist asking Destinee about if (and when) the Met will collect their first crypto art works.

If you want to get a read on the traditional art world and how they are engaging with NFTs…you can’t really get bigger than this. The Met is the most visited museum in America, and one of the most important cultural institutions in the world.
